The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State

346. Consulate’s 342, November 29, noon.39 The Committee of Nineteen met in private and in public session this morning. As anticipated no discussion took place on the substance of the dispute. Consideration was given to a letter from Yen under date of November 29 requesting the Committee to draw up a proposal to be submitted to the Assembly fixing definitely and finally the length of the prolongation of the period prescribed by the Covenant for the completion of the Assembly’s report on the conflict (Consulate’s 214, July 2, 9 p.m. and 277, October 1, 3 p.m.). The Committee agreed that the President should reply to the effect that it was impossible to prepare such a proposal until after the Assembly had discussed the question as a whole and had thus provided the Committee with a basis on which to proceed.
